IP video is expected to grow 16% each year by
2019. IP cameras offer you the capabilities of
people counting, motion detection, license plate
recognition, heat mapping, facial recognition and
noise detection.
IP cameras can also integrate with items like ac-
cess control, server, cameras, office & mobile
phone, tablets, displays and fire alarms.
The value of quality
Security cameras are more often than not placed
in environments where they’re subjected to ex-
treme wind, rain and vandalism. At the same time,
it’s critical that the cameras keep working – lives
could depend on them.
Axis cameras have been subjected to the hardest
tests to make sure they’re resilient against water,
vibrations, impacts – and more.
Axis continuously develops new technologies
and smart solutions that add value to your secu-
rity and surveillance installation.
Our technologies focus on enhancing:
• Image usability
• Reliability and quality
• Ease of installation and use
• Intelligent applications and analytics
• System integration
• Efficient operation in all conditions
• Secure network communication
For example, effectively minimizing effects from
vibration and shaking.
A surveillance camera mounted in an exposed
location such as on a high pole or a street sign
near a busy road, can be shaken by winds or
passing traffic, which will blur the video.
In these situations, Electronic image stabilization,
a feature in Axis network cameras which great-
ly improves video quality in situations where a
camera is subject to vibrations, provides smooth
and comfortable live viewing.
